The Audio-Technica PRO 24-CM camcorder microphone is a lightweight, compact stereo condenser mic that is ideal for digital recording with high-fidelity stereo sound. Equipped with an accessory shoe and permanently attached coiled cable, the PRO24CM microphone features a pair of cardioid elements in an X-Y configuration to provide the spatial impact and realism of a live sound field. This AT camera mount microphone is designed for either battery operation, or battery-free operation when used with camcorders that provide plug-in power at the mic input. Like all Audio-Technica mics, the PRO 24-CM is rugged. It's built to endure the rigors of field production. Requires phantom power.

Nice mic with a decent sound but I was surprised at how low the volume is. It definitely needs amplification. Barely audible on my PC. And mic boost on my sound card is awful so I am limited to using it with devices that power the mic.
